category and properties of the noun phrase in Hungarian (Dikken&Dekany, 2018); close conjunction agreement in Slovenia, Bosnia, Croatian and Serbian (Arsenijevic et.al, 2020); verb domain of subject agreement in Turkish (Gunes, 2021). And syntax of radically truncated clauses in colloquial Hungarian (Halm, 2021).As discussed in these four studies, the structure of elements in sentences that not only focus on advances of verbal domains but also embedding of categories within a larger category ranging from phrases, clauses, sentences and endorses new tools of syntactic analysis, (Tahir, et al., 2018). There are many references related to syntax theories in all aspects of language, particularly in syntactic properties analysis. However, along with the evolvement of new theories related to the application of syntactic properties in different languages, or the suitability of the theory on the latest data, is one of the main concerns for the researchers in linguistic, to develop science and verify the application of previous theory whether the theory is still appropriate or need to be extended. Investigating the syntactic properties of the main certain verb subtypes that refer to sense against the data provided in Corpus Linguistic has received less attention from previous studies, (Rahman, F. 2019). Corpus linguistic is a lively subject, with corpus-based approaches being taken to many research questions in linguistics (McEnery and Wilson 2001), and it is increasingly multilingual, with many languages, and many varieties of those languages, being studied with the help of corpus data (Asmusses2006). This present analysis determines the variety of complement clause allowed in filling object slot and omittable object slot in sentences, as in semantic level, each type has a quite distinct of roles based on Dixon’s theory.Dixon (2005) divided verbal concepts into two sorts: primary and secondary. Those types are grouped into very specific subtypes which included in some particular verbs which has similar meaning in common. This verb classification is adopted from Levin’s (1993) English verb classes. Verbs are distinguished by on what objects or object predicates they select and distinct form of verb lexeme (Galderen, 2002; McCharty, 2002). Attention verb is one of the primary verb types which divided into some subtypes. Dixon (2005) generalizes the syntactic properties of the main attention verb of omittable object slot and complement varieties allowed in object slot. This research focuses on broader verb analysis which includes the level of complement clause in the sentences in which the verb is exist. Sentences has different communicative functions and that each of these communicative functions is expressed with a typical sentence pattern (Verspoor&Sauter, 2000). Therefore, this study aims: 1)To analyse the structure of sentences with omittable O slot in Attention verb at the level of simple, compound, complex and compound-complex sentence; 2) To extend the classification of Tense and Aspect in Syntactic Properties of the Attention verb; 3) To explore the complement clauses allowed filling the O slot in Syntactic Properties of Attention verb based on the data found in COCA. A principled interaction between the meaning of a word and its syntactic properties are associated with the meaning and grammatical behaviour. The meaning of word infers its likely grammatical possibilitiesor from observing the grammatical use of the word is able to infer a good deal about what it means of language as a whole. This research is expected to contribute to the extensive theory in syntactic properties and lexical semantic in linguistic. The procedures of data analysing are devised into structured stages: (1) discussing the verb classification based on Dixon’s theory and provide samples, (2) subcategorizing the data contains Attention subtypes from COCA, (3) analysing all classified data to extend syntactic properties through the semantic principles and describe the distinct structure of the sentences based on Dixon’s theory and (4) drawing brief conclusion and suggest for further work.

II. Objectives of Study

This article aims to (1) analyse the structure of sentences with omittable O slot in Attention verb at the level of sentence (2) extend the classification of Tense and Aspect, (3) explore the complement clauses allowed filling the O slot in Syntactic Properties of Attention verb.

III. Research Method

The research is conducted through qualitative procedures by categorizing a certain construction of the sentences, as well as by additional studying and interpreting certain context related to the data. The data is selected accurately to synchronize the feature of Attention verb in the lexical categories.To extend and elaborate the syntactic properties of the Attention verbs, this research adopts deep syntactic analysis at the level of clause and sentence (Morley, 2000; Aarts, 2001; Miller, 2002), and the feature of complement clause in Attention verb (Dixon, 2005). All data required for this study is collected from Corpus of Contemporary American English (COCA).All the categories of source of text provided in COCA is selected. Texts taken as the data holdsAttentionsubtypes referring to their literal meaning and syntactic properties constructions.

IV. Data analysis

The data analysis is organized, sorted, classified, marked, and interpreted to obtain the focus or problem to be answered. Techniques of data analysis are gradual. The steps to be taken as follows: 1)implementation of deep understanding of the text; 2) Providing code and the resources in each text. (text 1, text 2 etc.); 3) Providing code for each subtype in analyzing the omittable O slot : (1)-smell, (2)-taste, (3)-feel, (4)-observe, (5)A J H S S R J o u r n a l P a g e | 2
